From May 15th to 19th 2023 in Portugal will take place the 8th International Wildland Fire Conference. These conferences are aimed at promoting exchange of expertise and international cooperation in wildland fire management gathering thousands of participants around the world and overseen by The International Liaison Committee (ILC), serving as an advisory and liaison body to the hosts of the conferences. The ILC recognizes that landscape fire management is an international issue, thus working closely with conference hosts and seeking new opportunities for sharing experiences in this area of knowledge.
On May 17th the International Model Forest Network will organize a panel on the “Social Participation and Local Fire Governance through International Networks”. It will be the occasion to share experiences and best practices from some of the Model Forest of the network, including those in the Mediterranean.
